Dear Friends,
Where were you on the 21 July 1969?
I was still undergoing my basic Army training prior to going to Vietnam. I 
recall that the actual landing was at about 3:00 p.m. on July 21st here in 
Australia, AND WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO WATCH IT LIVE!!! Had to wait for 
the evening news after we'd knocked off.
Love
David in Ballarat

I have just been reading peoples memories on the BBC web page.

Where were you on the 21 July 1969?

My DH was working at Tidbinbilla Tracking Station  in Canberra, Australia.
working for NASA.

Although he was helping to track the men on the moon it was not until
20 years later that he saw the film of the men landing on the moon.
The reason for this was that there was no TV at the station for the
men to see this.

DH saw the first pictures come back from Space from the Mars mission,
Mariner 4, I have just asked him about, said  it was really slow coming back
in bits
per second.

I was working at the time, but took the day off, went into Canberra to get
some
cash at the bank, there were TV's at the bank, I was the only customer so
went back home to watch the TV.  There did not have a video recorder then.

I know where I was - sick in bed with a gastric bug!!   My mother had been over
to our house to retrieve my 6 months old son, so that I could enjoy my misery
in peace.  Mum had television, which we didn't, so she decided to sit Philip up
with a cushion behind him, so that he could watch history being madeshe
thought it would be nice that for the rest of his life he could claim he
watched the moon landing, even if he didn't remember it!!

As for me, I didn't care a hoot what they did ... on the moon, or off it!!
